The Japanese-style buildings along the way feel really rural and simple. The pond water is super clear, but there are just too many tourists and it's pretty noisy, which kind of ruins the vibe.

Kinkaku-ji
During the Muromachi Period, the 3rd Ashikaga shogun, Yoshimitsu, made an abode in this temple called Kitayamadono. It was named as Rokuon-ji after the posthumous name of Yoshimitsu. He had also built Shokoku-ji Temple, and Rokuon-ji, his retirement home, was turned into a branch temple of Shokoku-ji.
Every step in the garden is filled with Japan's unique 'serene beauty.' It's not just about seeing the temple—it feels like a cleansing for the soul.

Cow Brand Red Box
This creamy lathering soap contains milk and squalene to help moisturize. It is a popular, long-selling product that has been on the market since 1928.
This classic brand has been selling for so long for a reason. It's all-natural and still handmade. I always buy this soap at drugstores in Taiwan!

Kinrin Lake
Kinrin Lake is one of many popular tourist spots in the hot springs town of Yufuin. The lake sits under Mt. Yufu and as such was called takemoto-no-ike (lit. “lake under the mountain”) for years. However, it was renamed to Kinrin, or “golden scales”, by Mori Kuso in 1884 when he saw the golden glimmering scales of fish as they swam at sunset.
The scenery at Kinrin Lake is like a dream. Watching the reflections of the trees and misty mountains on the water makes you forget all your worries!
